    2016 Neighborhood Profile Covenant Blu/Grand Center Blu/Grand Covenant Washington University Medical Center A partnership between BJC HealthCare and Washington University in St. Louis 1 Covenant Blu/Grand Center Neighborhood Introduction The Covenant Blu- Grand Center neigh- borhood is located at the geographic center of the City of St. Louis, home to a dynamic and diverse array of anchor institutions, residents , and venues for the arts. The neighborhood suffered from precipitous decline in the latter half of the 20th century while dealing with significant structural changes, but has been engaging in revitalization efforts with its stakeholder institutions since the 1980s, achieving great progress along the way. Covenant Blu- Grand Center is located just north of Saint Louis University, centered around the Grand Center Arts District on North Grand Blvd, home to the Fabulous Fox Theatre, Powell Symphony Hall, The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, and a host of additional arts, media, and civic institutions and venues. With the motto, “The Intersection of Art & Life”, Grand Center is arguably the center of the high arts community in St. Louis while presenting a skyline of architectural landmarks recognizable and visible to St. Louisans throughout the city. In the early decades of the 20th Century, the area was known as the social hub of Saint Louis, with the city’s 2 grandest social clubs, fraternities, hotels, and classic theatres. However, by the middle of the century, these venues fell out of fashion as society moved westward and many were shuttered. As private investment withdrew from the City, the urban fabric of the neighborhood surrounding the Grand Center Arts District experienced great decline.

ARRIVAL AND PARKING We urge you to arrive at The Sheldon Concert Hall 15 to 30 minutes prior to the program.

CONCERT MANNERS Please coach your students on good concert manners before coming to The Sheldon Concert Hall. Good audiences love to listen to music and they love to show their appreciation with applause, usually at the end of an entire piece and occasionally after a good solo by one of the musicians.

  • St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines
    VOLUNTARY BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES Street performers, also known as buskers, make a valuable contribution to our vibrant urban fabric. We want to encourage street performances while respecting the reasonable expectations of the greater public to enjoy peace and quiet in their homes and the ability of businesses to conduct commerce. These voluntary guidelines seek to balance the interests of performers with those of residents, visitors and businesses. A respectful environment will create more opportunities for local street performers and make the region a welcoming destination for traveling artists. Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013. Elsewhere in the region, other municipalities have not adopted street performer ordinances. So, street performers are free to perform in any public location, although they are subject to other regulations prohibiting disturbing the peace, obstruction of public passageways, aggressive panhandling and intrusive noise. Drafted by an interested group of participating street performers in collaboration with the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU), this consensus document is based on the belief that street performers are largely self- regulating. Our common sense “time, place and manner” guidelines are not intended to prohibit or hinder artistic expression, which is protected by the First Amendment. The goal is to ensure that public areas remain safe and useful for their primary purposes while asserting the rights of street performers and other artists. Street performers who want to follow these voluntary guidelines can obtain a free annual St.

  • St. Louis Arts Ecology Report
    Saint Louis Arts Ecology February 8, 2019 PRESENTATION AT THE REGIONAL ARTS COMMISSION ARTS &: NEXT STEPS CONVENING FEBRUARY 8, 2019 Summary The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland was commissioned by Centene Corporation to study the arts ecology of St. Louis. The goal of the study was to provide guidance to Centene about the needs of the artists and arts organizations in St. Louis. The study examined two cohorts of arts organizations, those larger organizations that receive RAC funding and smaller organizations that receive project support. In-depth interviews and data surveys were performed with 60 organizations from both cohorts. Data for arts organizations in St. Louis were also compared to data from arts organizations in six comparator cities. The interviews focused on key strategic aspects of arts management: artistic planning, marketing (both to increase ticket sales and to engage new donors), fund-raising, board engagement and staffing. 2 Major Conclusions Major conclusions of the study included: - St. Louis has a remarkably large, diverse and productive arts sector that includes a large number of organizations - The largest arts organizations are larger than their counterparts in similar size cities - St. Louis is missing a cadre of mid-sized organizations; most organizations are very large or of modest size - There is a great reliance on fundraising by the larger arts institutions 3 Major Conclusions (cont) - A small group of very generous funders is providing a large portion of philanthropy in St.
